Osinbajo, Obi, And Others Attend Democratic National Convention In Chicago
Former Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) and other notable Nigerian political figures, including the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, are currently attending the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago as special guests of the National Democratic Institute (NDI) based in Washington DC.
Aside from Osinbajo and Obi, a former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, was also invited, according to the USbased NDI. Diaspora Watch gathered that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, was also said to have been invited, but it was not clear if he had honoured the invitation.
The NDI is a notable non-profit and non-partisan organisation pushing democratic values around the world. It’s based in the United States of America.
The attendance of Osinbajo and Obi at the event further demonstrates their increasing global engagement and international political profile since leaving office in May 2023.
The presence of the distinguished Nigerians at the Democratic National Convention underscored the importance of fostering global democratic values and the role that African leaders play in shaping the future of democracy, both on the continent and worldwide.
Their participation at the event signals a commitment to engaging with diverse political processes and learning from global experiences to enhance governance and democracy in Nigeria.
The Democratic National Convention, a significant event in the United States’ political calendar, serves as a platform where key policies and strategies are discussed by the Democratic Party, besides the formal nomination of the party’s presidential candidate and current US Vice President, Kamala Harris.
The convention was also an opportunity for global leaders and stakeholders to observe and participate in discussions that could influence global political trends.
By attending the convention, Osinbajo and the other Nigerian leaders invited will engage with global democratic practices, exchange ideas with international counterparts, and bring valuable insights back to Nigeria.
The involvement of figures like Osinbajo and Obi in such international political events demonstrates Nigeria’s active role in the global democratic community
